A man sparked an evacuation at a French hospital after doctors discovered an eight-inch-long live World War I artillery shell in his rectum.

The unnamed 24-year-old rushed to the Rangueil Accident and Emergency unit in Toulouse, in the south-west of the country, late on Saturday night.

‘He was in a state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object up his rectum,’ said an investigating source.

‘Emergency surgery was carried out, and the object was found to be an artillery shell dating back to the First World War.

‘Worse still, it had not exploded, and so bomb disposal experts had to be called to diffuse the shell, with the fire brigade standing by.’
